Battle of Vidarbha Madhavasena, a cousin of Yajnasena, sought help from
Agnimitra, the king of the
Shunga Empire in overthrowing his cousin. He set out for
Vidisha, the current
Shunga capital, but was spotted by some of Yajnasena's soldiers and captured while crossing the border of Vidarbha and imprisoned. Agnimitra demanded the release of Madhavasena, and in return Yajnasena demanded the release of the former Mauryan minister, who had been captured earlier by Agnimitra. Instead, Agnimitra sent his army to invade Vidarbha. Yajnasena was defeated and forced to divide Vidarbha with Madhavasena, and both cousins recognized the suzerainty of the Shunga rulers. ==References==
